ED Launches Money Laundering Probe Against Kerala CM’s Daughter Veena Vijayan, IT Company

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated a money laundering case against Veena Vijayan, daughter of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, her IT company, and several others. According to reports from PTI, the case aims to investigate alleged illegal payments made by a private mineral firm to Veena and her company.

Official sources revealed that the agency has registered the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and plans to summon individuals involved in the matter. The ED’s action follows the filing of a complaint by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO).

The origins of the case against the Kerala CM’s daughter are traced back to an investigation conducted by the Income Tax Department. The investigation alleges that Cochin Minerals And Rutile Ltd (CMRL), a private company, made unauthorized payments totalling ₹1.72 crore to Veena’s company, Exalogic Solutions, between 2018 and 2019. Notably, the IT firm purportedly did not render any services to CMRL.

The Karnataka High Court recently dismissed a petition filed by Exalogic Solutions challenging the SFIO-initiated probe. This development underscores the escalation of legal actions surrounding the allegations against Veena Vijayan and her company.
